A carrier battle group includes at least two nuclear attack subs. Depending upon the depth of the aircraft, station one sub above the wreck and torpedo anything that approaches until deep-diving subs can recover it.

"Are we going to salvage it or let the Chicoms have it?"

The sunken aircraft likely has already been blown up into tiny fragments.

“Sources aboard the USS Carl Vinson say the Navy’s first F35 woman pilot was at the controls of the plane which went overboard”

The statement by the navy sounds like the navy is going to punish the person who took the picture.

Why? What is there in that picture that is a national security risk?

Was she “the First” this or “the First” that. too?

At some point this has to stop.

This accident had nothing to do with the pilot’s gender!

I’ll let you repeat yesterday’s post, Mat?

******************************************************************
It’s possible that the released picture/video have embedded metadata that pinpoint the PRECISE location where the incident occurred. That would, of course, be of immense value to our adversaries should they wish to attempt recovery before we succeed with recovery.

That did occur to me but I suspect the navy would dare the Chinese to touch it.

The navy should station a sub or two and a suface vessel at that point which would not leave until the fighter is salvaged or destroyed.

I hope the people who rammed this incompetent lady through flight training are court-marshalled. But they won’t be. Biden will give them a medal for diversifying the quality of pilots.

Lemme guess, the State Department will instruct the DoD to Stand Down and pull back to Guam. Then in six months will open discussions with the Chinese to request access to “US property abandoned in Chinese territorial waters”.

Was it a real woman or was it a man who says he is a woman. Or do we know?

Sad to have to ask that.
